Two dollar bills are really cool. I haven't even seen a 50c coin myself, need to track one of those down.

Looks like you can get $100 worth of half dollar coins for $147 from the US Mint https://catalog.usmint.gov/kennedy-2023-half-dollar-200-coin...

Pro tip: Go to your bank and you can order $100 worth of half dollars for $100.00.

Pro-er tip: You can also do this with two dollar bills.

yea - U.S. Mint is a ripoff

If you order $200 worth of two dollar bills, you'll likey get uncirculated bills, in a strap so you can feel gangsta/baller/whateverthe cool kids are saying these days.

Thank you for the wonderful tip. I am going to order these coins to handover to kids for Halloween. I am sure that they will love this unusual gift.

I am offering each visitor two candies, and the option to instead receive a half-dollar for each rejected tooth-decayer.

Yes, I'm the "full-sized candy guy" because I don't want the neighborhood kids vandalizing / stealing from my vehicles. Yes, I'm that old. Yes, my neighborhood is that sketchy.

A price I'm willing to offer. So far, no burglaries (and I leave the doors unlocked).
